Hahahahahahahaha!!!
Kentucky bows out of the 1st round of the NIT to lowly Robert Morris. ;D
I'm 3/4 so far and I'm hoping for the Oregon upset :)

Gotta say that I enjoyed the Harvard win last night. Good to see at least one Nee England basketball program accomplish something these days.
Pretty amazing that a school that started in the 1990s went out and knocked off Georgetown yesterday.
Games that I'm really are looking forward to today;
VCU/Michigan
Arizona/Harvard
Gonzaga/Wichita St

I'd forgotten that the same school (Florida Gulf-Coast) knocked off Miami earlier this year. That's two #2 seeds beaten this season. Fellas are legit.
I'm looking forward to VCU/Mich, Butler/Marquette, and possibly (if it's close) Louisville/Colorado St. Good contrast there. Also the Cuse game but that's for fanship reasons.
#1 Gonzaga SHOCKED.
Well, not really shocked here. I always thought they were never going to get past the Elite Eight. A little surprised that it came this early.
Olynyk is going to stay, I believe. Harris is a 2nd round steal at this point.

Has there ever been a #1 seed that people have had less faith in?
Didn't see a lot of brackets have them make even the Elite 8 never mind the Final Four. Can't say I was too surprised by this one.
FGCU....WOW!!!!
FGCU....WOW!!!!
A lot of the high seeds that win, win on 3 point shooting. But FGCU is just dominating. Comer is looking like Rondo
Syracuse!
MCW probably made himself a few million dollars tonight.

Kansas should have fouled when they wee up by 3 with less than 10 seconds left
I'll tell you what, this Duke team is far from it's most talented. They likely don't have one single future NBA star, and they night not even have any starters at all. They sure as heck play as hard as any Duke team, though, and really have me believing they can win this thing.
A week ago I wouldn't have thought it. Louisville will be a test, but if they can get by them, I think the title is theirs to lose.
Burke reminds me of Chalmers
They both rely on quickness rather than explosion. Neither are the traditonal Rondo type pg's, both can score a variety of ways. I think Burke is a better facilitator, but his instincts are to score first just like Chalmers. I would say Chris Paul is a strech just because I don't think he has the court vision or defense instincts that CP3 came into the league with.
Jon Horford
Identify this man, I think you'll be surprised (though you'll get it easily):Sorry I never see Michigan play, but is he any good??

Michigan just taking Florida to the woodshed right now.
That had to have been a compound fracture to Kevin Ware, the way all the players went to the floor, everyone crying, etc. - they were also very cognizant of not letting anyone see, hiding it from the cameras. Really, really ugly ... you rarely see that kind of injury in basketball. Thoughts are with him and his family.

Didn't see it, but even the comments make me cringe... get better Kevin Ware.

His leg looks like a question mark , wow that's gruesome ....

Just watched the replay, and his lower leg is dangling by the tendons, the bones completely separated. Just horrific, and nobody touched him, he just came down on it wrong and it gave way. Pretty rare for basketball, though you see more of that kind of injury in soccer and football. Believe it or not, a fracture like that can very often be quicker to heal than a partial break, (with splinters), or a spiral fracture, (which I had from skiing when I was eight). Blessings to him and his family.That had to have been a compound fracture to Kevin Ware, the way all the players went to the floor, everyone crying, etc. - they were also very cognizant of not letting anyone see, hiding it from the cameras.

It appears to be a compound fracture

Wish him a speedy recovery.
Just watching the game, Dieng has outplayed out impacted Plumlee. Plumlee is definitely not a shot blocker and post moves are non existant.
Dieng's length and footspeed alone has done alot of damage. At this rate, things have flipped between Plumlee going within the lotto and Dieng somewhere later in the draft i would guess.
I hope danny is watching the game and has Dieng as an option when we pick.
Louisville wins 72 - 68
That jump ball was crucial with Louisville up by three in the final seconds. (it gave Louisville the ball and 2 free throws)Yeah, could've easily been called a foul, and I never saw him get both hands on the ball ... too bad, I would've loved to have seen the Shockers in the finals. Exciting game either way.
It was called very quick.
Indeed, there was contact. And Louisville had minimal contact with the ball for a very short time.That jump ball was crucial with Louisville up by three in the final seconds.

Omg guys we need to draft Mitch McGary.
He's looking really, really good.
Great night of college hoops
McGary =Dave Cowens
C-Webb in the house!

Don't take it so seriously ;D I'm kidding around
The Michigan fans are so annoying... ;D Refs aren't so good either. Louisville offense reminds me of ours! :D

Subtle shot at the Celtics? :o

What did everyone think of Dieng?

I wrote about him in the game preview and came out even more impressed.
KG's killer instinct rubbing off on him would do him some good.

I think he was the best NBA prospect in that game last night. Really like his game. Didn't really know of him before the tourney (don't want much college ball) but the kid impressed the heck out of me throughout the tourney.
He's got size, ridiculous athleticism, and some good, old fashioned brute strength. Had this one beautiful hook shot in the 2nd half last night, Don't see the hook almost at all in college ball!
